Back in the day, THIS was my internet....
![]() ![]() I built webpages on the original Tripod site (and geo-somethingorother) with this darn thing. I was a teenager and ran multiple snail mail pen pal websites. I also was a WebTV forum-aholic. At the time, my parents "didn't believe in" computers or other "nonsense fad items" so this way my first ever online experience. I loved it lol I remember later on having a very clunky pc with the hella annoying dial-up AOL going on. Both of which would kick me off any time someone called. ![]() |

I have an All Your Base T-Shirt!
I got on the internet in 1999 and the first thing I did was download Seti@Home. I wanted to help find ET. This lead to participating in many other distributed computing projects and also to building computers that were dedicated to these tasks. My first computer was a 500 MHz Pentium III Gateway. It was so exciting when dual cores came out and then quad cores and then hyper-threaded quad cores. I learned about overclocking and started to learn to code. Francois Piednoel talked to me at Seti@Home. The electric bill started getting too high and the drama of the Seti@Home message boards became burdensome. I gave up distributed computing. I am also nostalgic about newsgroups. I used to participate in several that were dedicated to television shows. I remember the Andromeda group in particular. |

i got online in about 1995.
I bought a new computer when I started graduate school and It came with a disk to install Prodigy. My first email address was a randomly generated list of characters @prodigy.com. I played a lot of Tetris when I should have been doing research, and I would dream about those shapes falling. At some point I discovered a free download for Quake, and I would play it a lot and I would get kind of flinch-y, and I would delete it from from my computer. I would download it again, and delete it again. Eventually I learned how to play in 'god mode' and I got way too familiar with the geography of the game. I didn't know that many people with email addresses in 1995, but I had a lot of fun corresponding. I made terrible mistakes all the time, like I sent a romantic email meant for my ex to her whole family. Once I cc'ed my ex's mother in an email where I was talking about her. She was always very nice to me and All I was repeating was her strong opinion about how to use ellipses correctly. |
